The North Coast Rape Crisis Team is proud to serve Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. In addition to the direct support we offer survivors, such as our 24 hour crisis lines, peer counseling services, accompaniment, and advocacy, we are also able to provide educational services to our community. As a non-profit, we rely on donations from community members in order to best support and expand our programs. When you donate to the North Coast Rape Crisis Team, you are supporting our mission!
California Budget Emergency!
NCRCT, the only nonprofit resource for survivors of child sexual abuse and rape in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, is confronting an unprecedented financial challenge, a 44.7% cut to the baseline funding afforded Rape Crisis Centers by California. This loss of funds will end our ability to provide essential 24-hour crisis and long-term services to children, adults and families.
The 44.7% cut to the budget will mean the elimination of four full-time advocate positions, all prevention education to schools and our community, the end of crisis counseling services, and eliminating financial assistance for survivors, at a minimum.

Dear (Title/Name),
My name is ____, I live in (City, State); I am one of your constituents. I am calling/writing as an ally and supporter of the North Coast Rape Crisis Team to express my concern and dismay over the cuts to the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding. Survivors of sexualized violence deserve their legal rights to be maintained and supported through their services; it is unacceptable that funding for this organization is at risk. They provide life-saving and supportive services to survivors in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties in the immediate wake of the most traumatic and difficult moments of their lives. I urge you to do everything in your power to fill the gap in core, necessary funding that victim service providers rely on and allow the North Coast Rape Crisis Team to continue providing essential and crucial services.
